Читаем Паноптикум. Сборник стихотворений полностью

Адъютант храпит на верхней полке.

Снится Люська и ее соски

Он боится, чтобы втихомолку

Не упёрли его потные носки


Мать и дочь болтают о диете

И, как привлекателен Брэд Питт

Перед ними на столе конфеты

И гора из фантиков лежит


Как зелёный змеи вползает в джунгли

Поезд загружается в тоннель

Свет погас. Как будто кто-то углем

Тамбур вымазал, окно, и даже дверь


Звук пощёчины раздался, словно выстрел

Звонкий, будто эхо на холме

Словно мегафон в пустой канистре

И пронёсся вихрем по купе


Генерал прижал к щетине руку

С заалевшей, слева, пятернёй

И подумал: «Нужно этой суке

Прояснить, что к ней полез другой»


Мать, припудрив нос, сказала томно

“Нет спасения от этих мужиков”

Дочь подумала: «А мама – бомба!»

Мать – что дочка ненавидит пошляков


Адъютант спросонья хмурил брови

И шептал, злорадно, у окна

“Это тебе гад за санаторий

И, что Люська без меня – одна”.

Волки

У меня в душе живут два волка

Белый волк добряк и балагур

Чёрный – заставляет спать с двустволкой

Чтобы лис моих не трогал кур

The Voice Over
The Voice Over

Maria Stepanova is one of the most powerful and distinctive voices of Russia's first post-Soviet literary generation. An award-winning poet and prose writer, she has also founded a major platform for independent journalism. Her verse blends formal mastery with a keen ear for the evolution of spoken language. As Russia's political climate has turned increasingly repressive, Stepanova has responded with engaged writing that grapples with the persistence of violence in her country's past and present. Some of her most remarkable recent work as a poet and essayist considers the conflict in Ukraine and the debasement of language that has always accompanied war. *The Voice Over* brings together two decades of Stepanova's work, showcasing her range, virtuosity, and creative evolution. Stepanova's poetic voice constantly sets out in search of new bodies to inhabit, taking established forms and styles and rendering them into something unexpected and strange. Recognizable patterns... Maria Stepanova is one of the most powerful and distinctive voices of Russia's first post-Soviet literary generation. An award-winning poet and prose writer, she has also founded a major platform for independent journalism. Her verse blends formal mastery with a keen ear for the evolution of spoken language. As Russia's political climate has turned increasingly repressive, Stepanova has responded with engaged writing that grapples with the persistence of violence in her country's past and present. Some of her most remarkable recent work as a poet and essayist considers the conflict in Ukraine and the debasement of language that has always accompanied war. The Voice Over brings together two decades of Stepanova's work, showcasing her range, virtuosity, and creative evolution. Stepanova's poetic voice constantly sets out in search of new bodies to inhabit, taking established forms and styles and rendering them into something unexpected and strange. Recognizable patterns of ballads, elegies, and war songs are transposed into a new key, infused with foreign strains, and juxtaposed with unlikely neighbors. As an essayist, Stepanova engages deeply with writers who bore witness to devastation and dramatic social change, as seen in searching pieces on W. G. Sebald, Marina Tsvetaeva, and Susan Sontag. Including contributions from ten translators, The Voice Over shows English-speaking readers why Stepanova is one of Russia's most acclaimed contemporary writers. Maria Stepanova is the author of over ten poetry collections as well as three books of essays and the documentary novel In Memory of Memory. She is the recipient of several Russian and international literary awards. Irina Shevelenko is professor of Russian in the Department of German, Nordic, and Slavic at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. With translations by: Alexandra Berlina, Sasha Dugdale, Sibelan Forrester, Amelia Glaser, Zachary Murphy King, Dmitry Manin, Ainsley Morse, Eugene Ostashevsky, Andrew Reynolds, and Maria Vassileva.
